"Carb pumps only get power when cranking or running" Thanks for that info. I checked for voltage again when I cranked over the motor, and it's there. The fuel pump was bad:mad: . It was original at 225K, so I guess it paid its dues. New fuel pump installed and working great. Thanks again for all the info:banana:

Need some help. My 86 carb'd wagon won't start(225k miles) . I did some troubleshooting, found that I am not getting fuel. I have voltage at the fuse panel, but get no voltage at the fuel pump (should be constant 12vdc??). Has anyone had similar problems, and if so, how did you fix. Also, does anyone know if there is anything in between the fuse panel and the fuel pump?? Maybe that is where I am losing voltage. Thanks for the help!!

Don't know if this fits the story... I returned from Kuwait this summer after a 10 month Navy deployment:banana: . I brought my 86 4WD carb'd wagon to Guam, knowing I would need a "boonie car". I can't say enough about this car, with 220,000 miles, I got home, hooked the battery back up, put a little air in the tires, and she started right up, like I never left. I have done the regular maintenance that it requires, timing belts, seals, clutch, driveline, oil/filter, etc... since my Dad gave it to me, and it doesn't miss a beat:headbang: . Thanks Dad.. On Guam, there is a bad habit of just junking cars on the side of the road, they will eventually be overtaken by the jungle, as the gov't here doesn't do to well about cleaning it up. On a mo'cycle ride one Sunday a couple weeks ago, I caught a glimpse of a wagon out of the corner of my eye, resting in the jungle. I needed a headlight assy, so I went back, and sure enough, it was a pretty clean, partially wrecked and stripped wagon. I got my "new" headlight. I love my Subaru...and of course with how well it runs, I now have friends trying to find themselves one. Go Subaru. And when I leave this little piece of tropical island, I will buy a STI, as there are no Subaru dealers here...

Thanks for all the help!! We'll try changing the transaxle oil with what was recommended.

Sure is sounding like a synchro problem to me, but it happens when downshifting and at a stop. the car only has 40k on it. It grinds unless you shift to second gear first. Thanks for all the help.

First of all, I am asking this for a friend who has a 99 legacy wagon 5 speed AWD. The car is very hard to shift into first gear without first putting it into 2nd or double clutching. Although it sounds like a synchronizer to me, I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if someone knows what it is. The dealer told her that this was normal, but I find that hard to believe. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Wow, I posted the same thing a while back, and got no help. I finally pulled the bulb out of my light. Thanks. Also, at what milage did yours come on, was it exactly at like 180,000 or something like that, that is when mine came on. I guess I can do this fix to mine now and put the bulb back in.

I have an 86 GL Wagon that was given to me with the stock cats taken out, and a piece of pipe connecting the Y. Then, just one big cat and mine passed california smog. Just my inputs. I wish I didn't have to pass smog though, cause I have New Mexico plates, but I have to pass to get on the military base. Also, prior to getting mine smogged, I retarded the timing a couple degrees, it made a difference. The shop told me to do this. My 86 has 212k on the original motor, and still keeps going and going...

I know that I have the same oil leak, but I just did all my seals and belts. I read in another forum that the EA82 leaks a lot normally. I am just monitoring how much mine is leaking.

Ok, this is my first post to this great forum. I did some searching but couldn't find a post on this. I have an 86 GL wagon with the EA82 engine. It is the model without the computer and O2 sensor. I have a constant EGR light on the dash. I cannot figure out how to get rid of it. It came on at exactly 180,000 miles. I have over 212,000 miles now. The EGR valve is working properly, how can I reset this light so I can take the electrical tape off of it. Thanks for all the help.
